Ice Beauty Emperor Master Manual

"Your Majesty, the servant ordered someone to buy something you wanted." Li Yuansheng held the brocade box in his hand and said respectfully.

Yu Ke buried his head in handling things and knocked on the table casually.

Li Yuansheng opened the box, took out the painting, untied the strap, and raised his hands high.

Yu Ke put down the pen, took it with one hand, and unfolded it slowly with complicated eyes.

The painting is a picture of a beautiful woman looking at the snow.Light snow fell, and the red walls and green tiles were covered with a layer of snow.The man had long black hair, a snow-white complexion, and was wearing a red cloak, revealing a light blue lapel inside. He was slightly looking up at the snow on the palace wall.

The artist seems to have observed very carefully, even the well-curved chin and neck of the person in the picture are drawn vividly, no different from him - Yu Ke knows very well how close he was to Chu Tang when he secretly kissed him that day I have been with Chu Tang day and night for so many years, so of course I am very familiar with him.

"Does the national teacher know?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the subordinates are cautious in doing things, so as not to disturb the national teacher."

Yu Ke remained expressionless: "Did you find out where it came from?"

"I found out." Li Yuansheng replied, "It's a new painter in the palace. That day when the national teacher entered the palace, he met the national teacher on the road, so he drew this painting and put it in the imperial painting workshop. The people below secretly took it out for auction."

It was also spread to the most famous auction building in Kyoto. People who came back said that the bidding price was outrageously high, which was breathtaking.

Yu Ke put the painting back into the box and said, "Dismissed from the palace."

"Yes."

After Li Yuansheng went out, Yu Ke sat at the table, drooping his eyes in silence for a while, and then he sighed and calmed down after a while.

He just remembered the scene a few days ago——

Chu Tang lay on the couch with a confused look on his face: "You..."

There seemed to be thorns growing on the couch in an instant, Yu Ke straightened up suddenly, and moved away from the side of the couch like a spring, his voice flustered: "Brother, brother!"

Chu Tang didn't look at him, but touched his forehead, and seemed to feel nothing unusual, so he put down his hands, pulled the quilt without saying a word, and then closed his eyes again, like a child falling asleep, very well-behaved.

Yu Ke's heart was in a mess, he couldn't untie the mess, he couldn't think at all, so he called out softly, "Brother?"

Chu Tang breathed softly.

I don't know if he saw it... No, he probably saw it, but why didn't Chu Tang respond?

Yu Ke's heartbeat was beating like a drum, and he stood for a long time, until the night gradually passed, he seemed to be exhausted, and sat down with one hand on the table.

……

Several days have passed since New Year's Eve.The Spring Festival was busy, there was no morning court, and Yu Ke didn't dare to take the initiative to find Chu Tang, so the two hadn't seen each other for several days.

Yu Ke felt unspeakable tension and regret in his heart, and slowly, as time went by, some vague expectations and extravagant hopes began to arise.He thought, Chu Tang... It's good that Chu Tang knows, and he doesn't misunderstand that he likes others, and pretends that nothing happened, and even secretly wishes him to be as heart-warming as others.

Although, although Chu Tang would probably scold him for his wolfish ambition, he might even slap him a few times, no, he should be assassinated by the people of Qianji Pavilion...

The boy is young, he has been growing up in the palace, and he has never seen any sincere love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, but no one can give him some advice, so he can only quietly hide He hugged Chu Tang so that the rejection of his sweetheart would come more slowly.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Yu Ke supported his head with one hand, and put his mouth against the pen in boredom, thinking wildly.

After a long time, he shouted, "Li Yuansheng."

Li Yuansheng immediately opened the door and came in: "What is your majesty's order?"

"Bring the edict."

"Yes." Li Yuansheng neatly spread out the bright yellow cloth and imperial papers on the table.

Yu Ke tapped the tip of his pen, picked up the pen and wrote: "Since ancient times, the prince's teacher has followed the sky and set up the pole, and is the foundation of the world. Today, the teachers of Chu State have excellent qualifications, preserve and nurture the country's foundation, and their hearts are pure and kind...so please be the grand teacher. I would like to report to Yu Bei Tian Di She Ji."

When he was writing, he was thinking, does Chu Tang still remember these words?

Chu Tang has a high position and authority, so he wouldn't cherish an empty prince's edict much, would he?

These words were written while crying when he was young when he had just become the prince, with a hand injury from Prime Minister Shen's beating.Although it was a long time ago, he remembered it in his heart and wrote it in one go, as if it escaped from the pen without thinking about it.

He couldn't help it.If Chu Tang doesn't come, he will go.

But the young man felt that he wanted to look like an emperor—he couldn’t go to Chu Tang and ask someone directly, “Since you know what I want, what about you?” steady.He is the emperor who was taught by Chu Tang, how could he be so reckless in front of his teacher?

So he cleverly thought of an excuse, and specially prepared a few business matters that he could discuss with Chu Tang.

At night, after finishing everything, Yu Ke said to Li Yuan, "Prepare the sedan chair and go to the National Teacher's Mansion."

Just as Li Yuansheng nodded, Yuerong came in: "I tell your majesty, the national teacher is waiting outside the door."

Yu Ke was taken aback: "Xuan."

Li Yuansheng cleverly put down the imperial decree in his hand, and retreated with the people in the room.

The door opened, and the night wind came in for a moment before being shut out.Chu Tang walked in, and the slender figure moved under the lamp, Yu Ke felt that the candlelight was dazzling.

"See Your Majesty." Chu Tang saluted.

Yu Ke's heart tightened: "Be flat."

Chu Tang said: "There is a change in the northwest, does Your Majesty know?"

This was exactly one of the things Yu Ke was going to say to Chu Tang. Although he had already made a decision and made a reply, he still said: "I know, do you have any questions from the national teacher?"

"I want to know how Your Majesty will deal with it." Chu Tang asked.

Yu Ke said: "The riots in the Northwest were caused by Qimeng's arrest of the people in Yubei on the border. The reason was that the soldiers occupied the fields and oppressed the people. I have sent people to find out the number of fields. If it is true, it will be returned to the people. If it is false Lead troops to suppress."

Chu Tang listened, his brows gradually lowered: "Your Majesty is wise."

When Yu Ke was talking, he was extremely nervous. While secretly watching his face, he thought to himself, why is Chu Tang's expression so serious?Is it hidden too well or really don't care?

"It's just that I still feel that there is something abnormal, and I want to go to the northwest to have a look."

Yu Ke's wild thoughts were interrupted in an instant, and he refused with a straight face: "No, the national teacher is weak, and the wind and sand in the northwest are strong, so it is not suitable."

Chu Tang: "...Your Majesty is joking again."

Yu Ke pursed his lips childishly: "Seriously. And someone has already gone, brother don't worry."

Chu Tang thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, the minister won't go."

Yu Ke smiled openly: "Brother, sit down quickly."

They walked to the inner hall and sat on the couch.As soon as he saw the couch, the events of that night came to his mind again, Yu Ke blushed and became nervous, not daring to look at Chu Tang.

But now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Yu Ke hesitated for a moment, decided to lay the groundwork for a while, and called out: "Brother."

Chu Tang looked at him: "Huh?"

Yu Ke asked: "Brother, what about the imperial edict I granted to the Grand Master?"

He didn't dare to look directly at Chu Tang, but only looked at the small table in front of Chu Tang. In fact, his palms were already sweating.

Chu Tang thought about it for a while, and said, "It's in the minister's study. Do you want it back, Your Majesty?"

Yu Ke waved his hands again and again: "Of course not!" He said with a smile: "I just check to see if my brother thinks my calligraphy is ugly and secretly threw it away."

"How could it be?" Chu Tang shook his head.

Yu Ke took out the new edict written in the morning and handed it to him: "Look."

Chu Tang took it, opened it, and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, I really don't think your handwriting is ugly."

"Then brother also has to accept this good-looking letter," Yu Ke said, "so as not to make my brother think of my centipede-like words and secretly laugh at me in his heart."

It's okay if he doesn't say it, but when he said it, Chu Tang really remembered the past when Yu Ke insisted on getting up in the middle of the night and crying while writing the imperial edict, which was ugly.He laughed and said: "Although the words are not pretty, but your majesty's intentions are pretty."

Yu Ke felt like pouring a jar of honey into his heart, it was so sweet.

The atmosphere was too good to be true.

Yu Ke suddenly throbbed, and an impulse came over him, and he blurted out: "What about now? On New Year's Eve, since my brother knows what I want, does he still think it looks good?"

At that moment, his heart seemed to stop beating, and it seemed to be beating so hard that he couldn't hear the sound.

Chu Tang was as good as he was, and with the same smile, he nodded and said, "Your Majesty makes wine for the minister himself, with a sincere heart, and the minister naturally thinks it is very good-looking."

Yu Ke was a little dazed, his tense shoulders relaxed a little, and he asked in a daze, "What wine?"

Chu Tang smiled and said, "Your Majesty is really so forgetful?"

Yu Ke came back to his senses, his throat tightened, and he said anxiously: "That's not what I said! That night, my dear—"

Facing Chu Tang's faint gaze, he bit his tongue violently, stopped speaking, and the smell of blood spread, and he woke up, and it took him a while to find his voice: "—the wine I brewed myself , how could I forget."

Chu Tang said: "I shouldn't be too greedy that day, and I couldn't stay with His Majesty to finish the New Year's Eve."

Loss swept over Yu Ke like a tidal wave. He was so dazed that he couldn't even think. He just instinctively said, "Ah, it's okay. From now on, the national teacher can make up for it every year."

In a trance, he instinctively felt that Chu Tang looked at him deeply, but when he looked back, Chu Tang had already looked away, as if it was just his illusion.

Reluctantly calming down, he talked to Chu Tang absent-mindedly for a while, and Chu Tang said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late at night, and I'm going back home first."

"Ah...Okay, let the national teacher go back first." Yu Ke said, "The road is slippery in snowy weather, the national teacher should be careful on the road."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

Yu Ke stared at Chu Tang's leaving back, and thought in despair: Does Chu Tang really not know?Was he drunk that night?Or was he the one who was drunk?Kissing Chu Tang was just his illusion?

But thinking back to Chu Tang's Ruoyouwuwu gaze just now, he felt again, did Chutang know and didn't want to accept him, and because he was the emperor, he pretended not to know because he wanted to save him some face?

He retracted his previous thoughts.In front of Chu Tang, he was always reckless, reckless, and unreasonable, like a child who couldn't grow up, how could he change overnight?Such an emperor, not to mention Chu Tang, even himself despises it.

At some point, it was obviously winter, and he was already sweating on his back.Perhaps it was because the fire was so hot that his eyes were moistened by the heat.

Yu Ke slowly lowered his head and wiped his eyes.
